CORPORATE GIFTING · CRO & CONTRACT RESEARCH

Your clients are scientists. Gift them like it.

The Flask Vessel is a double-wall vacuum-insulated stainless bottle drawn from the Erlenmeyer form, laser-engraved with your mark — or co-branded with a sponsor's. CROs use it for sponsor appreciation, study milestones and site staff recognition.

  • 25-unit minimum
  • Standard body logo included
  • Co-branding available

01 · WHERE IT WORKS

What CROs use it for

A CRO's brand promise is rigor. The objects you hand a sponsor should say what your deliverables say: precise, durable, no shortcuts.

SPONSORS

Sponsor and client appreciation

A gift for the sponsor team that carries the same message as your data packages.

MILESTONES

Kickoff, database lock, completion

Marking a study kickoff, a database lock or a trial completion for everyone who worked it.

CO-BRANDED

Joint programme gifts

Your logo on the body with a sponsor or study mark on the lid, proofed before anything runs.

SITE STAFF

Bench scientists, CRAs and sites

Recognition for monitors and site coordinators who rarely get included in a sponsor gift.

BUSINESS DEV

Conference and partnering booths

SCOPE, DIA and partnering events, where the object has to survive the flight home.

ONBOARDING

New-hire kits across offices and labs

One programme repeated across sites, ordered against artwork already on file.


02 · CUSTOMIZATION

Co-branding with a sponsor

One standard body laser-engraved logo is included at every quantity. A second mark on the lid is where a sponsor or study name goes.

CO-BRANDING POSITIONSYour logo on the body, a sponsor or study mark on the lid. The lid mark is an add-on from 50 units.
Permanent laser engraving cut through the powder-coated finish of a Flask Vessel
ENGRAVING, NOT PRINTINGCut into the powder coat and permanent — it will not peel off a sponsor's gift six months in.
The five Flask Vessel finishes — Ionic White, Carbon Black, Chlorophyll Green, Quantum Blue and Cryo Cyan
FIVE STANDARD FINISHESIonic White, Carbon Black, Chlorophyll Green, Quantum Blue and Cryo Cyan. Availability confirmed at quote.
  • A molecular structure tied to the programme can be engraved in place of a wordmark.
  • Lid-top engraving is an add-on from 50 units; UV body printing, custom strap colours, silicone bases and custom vessel colourways each carry their own higher minimum.
  • You are responsible for permission to use a sponsor's mark. We proof the layout before production but do not verify licensing.
  • Approved artwork is kept on file so a repeat run for the same programme matches.

04 · ORDERING

From artwork to delivery

  1. Artwork and project details

    Send quantity, required in-hands date, destination ZIP code, finish, and both marks if co-branding.

  2. Production proof

    A digital proof is issued before anything is produced, showing both marks in position.

  3. Approval and production

    Production begins once the proof is approved in writing. Artwork is kept on file for repeat runs.

  4. Delivery

    Freight is quoted by route and destination and confirmed before you commit.

Route is selected by quantity, deadline, inventory, decoration and destination, and domestic stock is evaluated first. Domestic stock is fast-turn U.S. inventory; planned factory production via ocean runs about 40–45 business days. Expedited air is project-specific. These are production and transit estimates, not arrival dates. Closeout meetings and partnering conferences have fixed dates, so send yours early and the schedule is confirmed in writing before you commit.

05 · COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Can you co-brand with a sponsor's logo?

Yes. Your logo is engraved on the body and the sponsor or programme mark on the lid, with a digital proof before production. Lid-top engraving is a per-vessel add-on available from 50 units.

Permission to use a sponsor's mark is yours to hold — we proof the layout but do not verify licensing.

What is the minimum order?

25 units, with one standard body laser-engraved logo included. Per-unit pricing by quantity band is published on Bulk Orders. Below 25 units, request a $25 decorated spec sample or buy at retail.

Can you meet a trial milestone or conference deadline?

Often, but it depends on quantity, decoration and route, so it is confirmed rather than assumed. Domestic stock is fast-turn; planned factory production via ocean runs about 40–45 business days. Send your in-hands date with the quantity and what is achievable is confirmed in writing.

Can a study engrave a molecular structure instead of a logo?

Yes. A structure or formula tied to the programme can be engraved alongside or in place of a wordmark. A proof is issued before production.

Is there an artwork setup charge?

New artwork carries a one-time $65 setup. It is waived on orders of 250+ units and on qualifying exact-repeat artwork, meaning unchanged production artwork. Modified artwork or a complex redraw may be quoted separately.

Why this over standard promotional drinkware?

Your clients evaluate labs for a living. A single-wall promotional bottle undercuts a rigor-first brand; a double-wall vacuum-insulated 304 stainless vessel reinforces it.
